How to Install a Coin Changer Machine
Step 1: Prepare the Installation Site
Ensure you have a flat, stable surface near a power outlet. The machine requires 100-240V AC power and should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Step 2: Unpack and Inspect
Remove all packaging materials. Check that all components are present: main unit, coin trays, instruction manual, and warranty card. Inspect for any shipping damage.
Step 3: Set Up Coin Denominations
Load the appropriate coin cartridges for your local currency. Each denomination requires a separate cartridge. Follow the diagram inside the machine to place cartridges correctly.
Step 4: Connect Power and Test
Plug in the machine and turn on the power switch. Run the self-test mode to verify all functions work correctly. Test each denomination by inserting sample coins.
